XForms transitional

Raman: I don't think it is a good idea

Dave: I think it is, there are good technical issues

... We should attach the name XForms to it

<John_Boyer> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-forms/2007Mar/0057.html

<ebruchez> (I am leaving the call for 5 minutes)

John: We should answer his updated answer
... Can anyone reply?
... We leave it on the agenda

Version attribute follow-up

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-forms/2007JanMar/0233.html

John: We talked about it prev. week
... I wonder if versioning xforms a host language issue

Schnitz: will the xforms version on the hostlange, or does the profile defines the xforms version in the hostlanguage
... If it is a profile then it is a CDF issue

<ebruchez> back

John: isn't it just a CDF issue

Schnitz: Maybe we should find out

<John_Boyer> Schnitz: We believe there should in fact be a version for XForms itself

<John_Boyer> Schnitz: not just a looser interpretation

<John_Boyer> Schnitz: from the host langauge

MarkB: Two aspects, does the processor needs to know what version he is dealing with (for backwards compatiblity), It is usefull for authors to know with version the document is

<John_Boyer> MarkB: it becomes really clear in new samples of XForms 1.1 that you need to have a 1.1 processor for it to work

<John_Boyer> Schnitz and MarkB: should make a global xf:version attribute available to the host language

MarkB: We have a attribute that the hostlanguage can use to flag the version

Schnitz: It can make a difference if you have a transformational processor

John: Can someone (MarkB, Or schints) post a LC comments to introduce a global attribute for versioning as an improvement

<Steven_> http://htmlwg.mn.aptest.com/cgi-bin/xforms-issues is now empty

<scribe> ACTION: MarkB to send LC comments to introduce a global attribute for versioning as an improvement [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/04/04-xforms-minutes.html#action07]

Problems with deleting the context node

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-forms/2007Feb/0027.html

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-forms/2007Feb/0027.html

John: I want to have the ability to have tables that always have one row
... If you delete the context node all subsequent actions thet use the context will fail afterwards

<ebruchez> tough one

John: Now I need to,if I want to delete the last node, insert first, use set index to the second item, and then do the delete

<Zakim> Dave, you wanted to ask about repeat-min, repeat-max

Dave: shouldnt we use a declerative way to define a reapeat min and repeat max

John: In XForms 1.1 we make the insert and delete dom mutation actions
... Steven asked to do this use cases in a more declerative way, but that wil prob. not just require one attribute, it will require extra events,...
... Can everyone please look to the next three issues items in the agenda

<Steven_> who was 703?

John: They are technical, and some preperation is necessary
